What’s this? A Yubcast episode? That’s odd. Well, we are back. Let’s do this. #StarWarsAnimation is peak Star Wars.
Jamey: Hello and welcome to ucast your Star Wars cartoon podcast. My name’s Jamie and I wish you were drunk.
Matt: And my name is Matt and I’m already on my way out. Happy May the fourth, Jamie?
Jamey: Yeah, happy May the fourth to you and to your lovely dog that is sitting next to me. This is a special episode, um, for many reasons.
One is, it is May the fourth, and the second reason is that we are in the same place at the same time. So this is the first time, uh, we’ve been seeing each, seeing each other in a while. So, uh, we are attempting to record, uh, together. So, uh, please give us, uh, a little grace if there are any audio hiccups or weirdness or don’t screw you.
Matt: Yeah, I don’t wanna hear it. Um, yes, we are in the same room. We are sort of at opposite ends of the room ’cause we were trying to work out the technical difficulties of recording in the same room. But Jamie came out [00:01:00] to the East Coast to visit for a little bit and it just so happens to be May 4th while he is out here.
And I swear we didn’t plan it that way, but. He’s been out here for a few days and we’ve been doing all sorts of Star Wars shit. So Jamie, did you do any Star Wars this week?
Jamey: Well, yes, I’ve been enjoying, uh, your basement, that is pretty much all Star Wars. Um, all the helmets you have up the posters, the big area with all the toys, um, and then seeing the figurine, or not the figurines, but the, those, um.
Live Lifesize, um, statues, I guess you’d call them, of, uh, mannequins or whatever you know of, uh, jar Jar Darth Mall. Yoda, Anakin and Wado. And then I also did bring you some stuff that I, some Star Wars stuff that we had that my kids didn’t want anymore, that I had promised to send you a few years ago. [00:02:00] This time I just put it through it in the suitcase and brought it over.
Yeah. Um, and how about you?
Matt: Well, once we got here, um, we watched that documentary together of, there’s a disturbance in the force about the making of the holiday special. I think we both really, really enjoyed that. Yeah.
Jamey: Wow. That, that was a, that was, that’s something I might not have normally watched, but that was, it was really good and it was very insightful.
Matt: Yeah. And then, then of course, um. Tales of the Underworld came out today, but we watched the first two episodes in a theater in Fortnite because, um. Jamie knows how to do that. I do not know how to do that, but Jamie found the theater in Fortnite. We watched the first two episodes the night before and then woke up and watched all six episodes with my son, um, this morning.
Jamey: Yeah, it was, um, yeah, that was quite, quite an experience. We’re trying to watch it at first, we’re just watching it or watching the character [00:03:00] watch it, and then I find the full screen toggle and then we get to hear. People shooting blasters, like in the game, just playing as we’re watching it. So it was kind of like, I don’t know if there’s anything we can do about this.
I, I, I later found out that there’s other areas where you could watch it, where there would probably be less sounds, but, oh, well, you know, we learned and it was funny. It was funny and, but, you know, we were so engrossed in the story. Yeah. We barely even noticed it after a while.
Matt: Yeah. It faded pretty fast for me and.
I actually thought the blasting blasters were part of the background at one point in the show, but I had to remind myself, no, no. We’re in a theater inside Fortnite and a bunch of, a bunch of children are shooting at Stormtroopers right now. Um, so, but it’s, it’s fun. Like Fortnite is really invaded my house in a big way, and right now they’ve got their Star Wars season going.
Um, so the kids are really playing that a lot. I have never played Fortnite for a second, but [00:04:00] my kids and Jamie seemed to enjoy it a lot.
Jamey: Yeah, it, it, it was a, it was a way to kinda like hang out with my kids and do something that they enjoy and then I found that I kind of enjoyed it, or at least it just killed time for me.
Matt: yeah, you’re very patient with my. Younger kid, um, when he was trying to explain to you how to play the game while you were playing it better than him. So
Jamey: yeah, I, you know, like, I’m not gonna yell at your kid in front of you. Sure, go ahead. No, it’s just like, he, he doesn’t, he’s just trying to be helpful, so why would I, why would I be mean to somebody who’s trying to be helpful to me?
Matt: Yeah. He’s, he just gets really, he gets really excited when there’s company and, uh, like I told you, he really likes it when. We play Star Wars or when I am playing video games with him or watching him play video games, he likes explaining that sort of stuff. He’s very animated when it comes to that sort of thing.
And yeah, all of that. [00:05:00] The other, the other sort of cool thing about this recording is I’m using this. Star Wars Holiday. It’s made up Star Wars holiday As an opportunity to relaunch the podcast, since I have not posted anything since the 2024 year in review where I thought we’re going to hit the ground running in 2025.
But sometimes mental health gets in the way, sometimes a, um. Tech billionaire tells you and 2 million of your colleagues that they’re lazy and don’t deserve their jobs, and you spend months justifying your job to that person. Um, and that takes up a lot of time too, so, yeah.
Jamey: Yeah. And then throwing like vacations, um, death in the families and just.
Just life stuff. Sometimes it, it gets difficult.
Matt: Yeah. Tree fell on my house and all sorts of cool stuff has happened in 2025, but we have a bunch of recordings that I’ve [00:06:00] never posted and I’m gonna post this one up unedited. I’ll just trim the ends a little bit and just get back on the horse and get back out there and, and reengage our audience, which every time we start building an audience, I do something like.
Not post for 10 weeks. Oh,
Jamey: well, we’ve, um, we’ve agreed that I’m going to be more vocal about, um, you posting, um, and that, um, I will have a secret code to send to your wife to let you, you know, to hurt you in many ways, um, when you are not posting or doing what you’re supposed to do. So
Matt: the problem, the problem with this plan is you.
You guys haven’t realized yet? That’s my kink.
Jamey: Okay. Well, we’ll figure out something.
Matt: Yeah, like step on my balls and tell me I didn’t post a podcast again. Please.
Jamey: Uh, okay. Alright, weirdo. [00:07:00] Um, but yeah, and, and, um, something else that we, um, that’s been happening is, um, we are, uh, I don’t know, are we halfway through and or in season two?
Matt: Oh yeah, we’ve been watching, Andor has been coming out every Tuesday and we are, yeah, this is May the fourth. So we’ve had two releases of Andor, so six total episodes and we have six left to go. Um. I’m in love with this show.
Jamey: Yes, it’s, it’s quite excellent. Um, I, I’m, I’m enjoying the fact that they’re releasing it three at a time and just everything about it has just been, has been great.
Um, really kind of flushing out characters. Um. Like Cyril and Deidre, um, you know, like even like, like Bix, uh, you know, Lutheran, um, I can’t think of his name. Will, will Willem, will some of the, the kid who threw the bomb. Yeah.
Matt: Yeah. I think it’s Willam. And then obviously Mon Mo Ma too. She’s getting a lot of [00:08:00] screen time and story.
Jamey: Oh, yeah. Oh, and, and Lutheran, um, Lutheran’s starting to come off, at least to me as like. I mean, maybe it’s just that’s supposed to be his role, but he’s kind of a bit of a, can be a bit of a bastard.
Matt: Yeah, I think, I think that’s, I think his unwillingness to compromise or be flexible is going to be what ultimately is his downfall.
My only question is, does Cassie and kill him or to saw. Or somebody else. Mm. He’s definitely gonna die in the next two weeks. Right?
Jamey: Yeah. Prob I, I, I’m guessing ’cause he was, he’s never heard from him again. Um, unless, I mean, they could change that, but, you know, you know, other, you know, other people, you know, less important die, you know, in tragic, weird ways.
So I doubt that like the Sarah, like, there’s gonna be a happy ending for Lutheran. It just doesn’t seem like in the cards for him.
Matt: Yeah. Hard agree. I just, I don’t think he’s gonna make it and, [00:09:00] and I think he’s gonna be betrayed. I also think we were talking about this earlier tonight. I think Deidre and Cy are going to come.
Two blows. Either. Yeah. Either physically or one’s going to betray the other.
Jamey: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. It’s, um, it’s been, it’s been a lot of fun watching that, um, their relationship arc, um, that Cyril just. You know, the fact that like when his, he’s trying to put off his mom coming to visit to meet Deidre, and when she does, and she’s, she’s domineering as usual, and then he leaves and then, um, Deidre finds him just like, I don’t know if he’s crying, but he’s just on the bed, just like, uh, just like, he’s just like, I, I don’t just ex exhausted or upset, kinda like a little kid would be, is very much like a little kid would be just kinda like pouting.
And so it was just very. It was a very well thought out scene.
Matt: Yeah, I think it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever [00:10:00] seen is Cy Cyril crying on a bed. I don’t know if he was crying, but like laying on a bed pouting. ’cause his, his mom was mean to him or just needling him
